As part of the UPEI Music Department Recital Series, the Toronto-based jazz
trio “Myriad” will perform at Dr. Steel Recital Hall on Tuesday, January
22 at 7:30 pm.
Myriad was an "accident." Chris Donnelly (piano), Daniel Fortin (bass) and
Ernesto Cervini (drums) had never played together until a few substitutions
and a twist of fate put them on stage together for the first time in late
2010. Since then, the trio has been making music in every jazz club in the
greater Toronto area.
The band is a true collective. Each member acts simultaneously as a leader
and a sideman. They play mostly original music that features different
aspects of jazz improvisation, ensemble playing and contemporary
composition. Myriad is modern jazz, meets classical, meets pop, meets
Oscar Peterson.
Chris Donnelly represents a new generation of jazz pianists, composers, and
improvisers dedicated to creating programs that are engaging, entertaining,
and educating. He is continually praised for his virtuosic performances,
musicality, versatility and ability to captivate audiences.
Daniel Fortin was born and raised in Peterborough, Ontario. He graduated
from the University of Toronto’s Jazz Performance Program in 2007. Since
moving to Toronto, Dan has been an active member of the city’s music scene,
playing with the likes of Mike Ruby, David Occhipinti, Dave Restivo, Barry
Romberg, Harley Card, Chris Donnelly, and many others.
Drummer Ernesto Cervini is making a name for himself as a
consummate bandleader and in-demand sideman, repeatedly praised for
his deeply musical, infectiously energetic talents. Time Out New
York encapsulated Cervini as “a buoyant drummer as well as a sharp
composer and bandleader,” while the jazz bible, Downbeat, described his
fluid style as one that “exemplifies 'float like a butterfly, sting like
a bee’.”
Myriad will be touring Canada to celebrate the release of their debut album
with Alma Records.
A one-semester pass ($84 for adults/ $56 for students/seniors) is available
and provides access to seven recitals this winter at a 20% discount.
Dr. Steel Recital Hall, UPEI 7:30 pm
Tickets are $15/$10 (students/seniors)

Atlantic Veterinary College is now accepting applications for its national award-winning Dr. Tim Ogilvie AVC Vet Camp and the AVC Summer Academy.
AVC Vet Camp offers an educational adventure like no other! Students (grades 7-9 and grades 10-12) learn about anatomy, wildlife medicine, and animal behaviour. They get to visit our large- and small-animal hospitals, including our intensive care unit, and take a field trip. They also learn about keeping pets and farm animals healthy. Students will also take part in lively discussions on animal-related social and public-health issues that face veterinarians today, and learn all about the educational requirements to become a veterinarian. Please visit upei.ca/avc/vetcamp - http://avc.upei.ca/vetcamp - for more information.
AVC's Summer Academy is a five-day residential program during which university students interact with the College's faculty, staff, and students through a variety of instructional approaches including classroom lectures, field trips, rotations, and hands-on sessions, all of which serve to expose students to the profession of veterinary medicine. The Academy is a valuable experience for those interested in pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. More information on the Academy can be found at upei.ca/avc/summeracademy - http://avc.upei.ca/summeracademy .
